Its simple did you have substantial/significant creative input? If so you probably have copyright.
AI content is not meaningfully different from procedurally generated content.
Take a Minecraft world. If you generate a random one do you have copyright? No of course not.
If you take a generated world and review and edit it substantially. Do you have copyright over the result? Probably.
There is a grey area where ever you don't start from scratch. Copyright is over the creative aspects of a project.
If I make a large printout of the letter A in Arial typeface just filling an A4 page on word, do I have copyright? No. What if I spend hours editing it in Photoshop? Yes probably if that involved substantial changes.
What if I generate thousands of samples and pick one? You probably do have copyright.
What I'd the prompt was empty? Probably don't.
This not to say that copyright itself is simple, just that AI generated works are not much more complex than the already subjective world of copyright.
- voxadam 4y agoWhile I agree with you in principle, but I think the courts have give themselves a lot of wiggle room with concepts like "substantial/significant creative input". I'm not taking a position at the moment. Hell, I'm barely qualified to take a position. It just feels to me that the courts have given themselves so much wiggle room to change their minds in a second that we're back in the wild west. As an aside, the first version of the GPL was released more than thirty years ago and it's hardly had a chance to "stand trial" in most courts. How long is it going to take something substantially more complex than a "simple" matter of contract law to make its way through that convoluted system?
